Brewing up a Beautiful Idea

Mark Hellweg, ’05
Marketing/Management Major 
Entrepreneur - Ratio Coffee

Where creativity and ingenuity overflow.

Who says a home coffee system has to be boring or overly complicated? Mark Hellweg tapped into the entrepreneurial spirit that Hillsdale College fosters to create a new kind of coffee maker. He founded Ratio Coffee in 2012 in Portland, Oregon, with a simple goal: to produce automatic coffee makers with the beauty of a high-end espresso machine and the simplicity of a traditional drip machine.
